Marvelous Magical Matt Moran

His Book Sirloin Steak with Red Wine Butter & Pont Neuf Potatoes

(aka Fat Chips) Raspberry Tart

Matt Moran, he is just an amazing chef. His restaurant Aria is a place I dream of going to, when next I make the journey all the way down to Sydney. It holds two coveted Chef's Hats awards. I fell in love with him when I watched the television series Heat In The Kitchen on the Lifestyle Food Channel His book clearly shows how talented he is and how passionate he is about great quality food.

The Good Food & Wine Show is always fantastic and this year was no exception. My friend Kym and I spent five and a half hours there. Nibbling and wine tasting our way through the mountains of displays. The best part of the show was the fabulous Matt Moran. He made the steak pictured above as well as that lovely raspberry tart. He is extremely witty, very funny and charming. He also told us of a brand new series he is filming with Catriona Rowntree called The Chopping Block can't wait for that. We watched him cook for his half an hour in the celebrity theatre, then I rushed outside with the copy of his cookbook in hand, so I could be first in line to meet this awesome chef. I was the first in line of course. There was a huge line up behind me. Then he came and sat down for the signing. I was busting at the seems I tell you. Giddy as a school girl. Then this bloody lady just pushed in. Rude woman. Felt like slapping her, I didn't of course. I have met famous people and I have never carried on like a blathering idiot, the only other time was when I met Rick Stein. Can you blame me? It was embarrassing, gushing and smiling like some type of stalker. But oh well, I was excited. Matt didn't seem to mind. I got some fabulous photos with him and shook his hand. Then it was all over. But I will remember it forever.

Just to let you all know. Recipes and photos on this site unless otherwise specified are what I have created and prepared at home.

I have been a home cook for about 25 years. I know alot about food and have been cooking for a very long time. My passion for food and eating is great. But I am still learning. I will always continue to learn. I am always up for constructive comments and questions. So please don't hesitate to email me if you would like to chat.

Feedback is so important to me. I want to know whether I am getting it right or that I can do it better. I really love that I have found a new way to express my passion with new people.
